Ardbeg 10

I figured that after posting my old Glenmo notes I might as well put up some notes I took on several Ardbegs. Ardbeg sits on the South coast of Islay along with Laphroaig and Lagavulin and puts out a relatively small range of core expressions, this being the most basic of them, but that does not make it a basic whisky at all.

Ardbeg was silent for many years and re-opened in 1997 and have since made quite a reputation for themselves. Their expressions are all non-chill filtered, even the 10 year old which really helps deliver the pungent peaty notes.
